DOOR-SECURER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 765,658, dated July 26, 1904.

Application filed em bel' 2,1902. Serial No. 133,600. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST BESELER, a subj ect of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, and a resident of 53 Ostwall, Crefeld, in the Province of the Rhine, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Securers, of which the following is an exact specification.

My invention relates to improvements in door-securers, and has for its purpose to provide a door-securer which can be easily applied and adjusted to each door.

My invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows the device applied to a door. Fig. 2 is a part of the construction shown in Fig. 1 in a modified form. Fig. 3 shows a modification of the construction shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 shows a part of this modification in a modified form. Figs. 5 and Gare details of the construction shown in Fig. 3. Figs. 7 and 8 show a second modification of the device.

My device consists of a hook a, fixed to a belt, chain, rod, or the like I). This hook a is hooked into the wall or behind a projecting part of the door-frame, while the free end of the belt, chain, or the like I) is fixed'to the spindle of the handle Z. The part b, which forms the connection between the spindle of the handle Z and the hook at is constructed so that its length can be adjusted. In the construction shown in Fig. 1 the part b is formed by a leather belt provided with a buckle b. The belt b may either be put through a slot in the hook at and around the spindle of the handle, whereafter the ends of the belt are fixed together by means of the buckle b, as shown in Fig. 1, or the belt may be fixed around the spindle Z by means of a buckle b Whereafter the free end of the belt is fixed to the hook at by means of a buckle 6 as shown in Fig. 3.

The hook a may have any convenient form, as may be seen from the different constructions shown in Figs. 1, 2, 1, and 6.

In the modification shown in Figs. 7 and 8 the connection between the spindle and the hook fixed to the door-frame or the like is formed by a chain. The length of this chain is in this construction adjusted by means of a screw-spindle 1". The hook at is in this construction fixed to a guide-piece s, in which slides a slide s. The front end of this slide 8 forms a hook, to which the chain 1) is fixed. Upon the spindle 1' a nut m is situated, which is fixed to the slide 8, so that by turning the spindle 1" by means of the thumb-screw r the length of the chain 5 can be adjusted.

It will be understood that any other convenient device may be provided for adjusting the length of the connection 6 between the hook at and the handle Z. In order to guide the connection 6, a guide-piece 2 may be provided at that side of the door opposite to the direction in which the door is opened. This guide-piece is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 7 of the drawings.

, Having thus fully described the nature of my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is In a door-securer, the combination of a hook adapted to be fixed to the frame of the door, a second hook adjustably fixed to the first one by means of a screw-spindle and a connection between this second hook and the spindle of the handle of the door, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ERNST .BESELER.
